SofaKingSickill probably forget to check, if you play it post back and let me know how it is
eheathBeen playing a bit today, very complex game its very cool. The oveall gameplay is pretty solid but the 'freestyle' aspect isnt great, doing tricks isnt super easy, but im still learning.
CaptainObvious.I was really worried that they would try to hard to create the "whole mountain experience" and the gameplay when skiing or boarding would fall short.
Does that ring true with your impressions at all?
eheathOverall the actual game play is awesome, its just lacking a bit on the tricks/jumps/rails side which if you want that, just play snow. But there is so much cool shit you can do in Steep and the map is HUGE

fujaromeLook at the threads about skiing games over the years, and this is basically exactly what everyone described.
Can't believe there isn't more hype for it on ns.
Having fun so far, but can't fully figure out if it's possible to fast travel in this version. Huge map, so many good spots, but can't figure out how to get to them
eheathI mean, this isnt the game for NSers, the park skiing aspect of the game is subpar, nothing compared to Snow. Overall the game play is great, tons of awesome features about this game but park skiing isn't one of them, there arent even rails in the game ha

supermagician__fast traveling gets a lot easier as the game goes on, the more spots you unlock ect. also using the paraglider and manipulating the wind to go up steep sections was the easiest way to actually travel around the game imo.
fujaromeYea that's what I've been discovering. The paraglider is definitely the best way to reach absolutely remote points. I'd imagine the full game must have some kind of helicopter drop type feature, otherwise there's areas that are basically untouchable
eheathYou can buy heli tickets in the store, drops you anywhere in the map that you have unlocked/discovered. I went to the top of mount blanc but it just took me back to mountain view when i tried to drop in.
My favorite is trying to see where i can wing suit to, its actually pretty efficient as well.
fujaromeMaybe it's just me, but I'm having a hard time discovering anything with the binoculars.
Managed to get about 3/4 of the way up the Aiguilles by various methods
eheathDo you have a balloon yet? Thats the easiest way to discover new shit is get in the balloon and wingsuit out.
I cant get switzarland, mount blanc, the forbidden(or something) mountains or this other area that starts with an A unlocked, its super annoying haha
TheDoughAbidesYou can ride thermals up to Switzerland and ride the edge of it but you can't do any challenges. But yeah i heli'd to the top of mt blanc and got the same thing.
eheathEven when I fly over, i get stopped with a "you're reaching the limit of this map" maybe cause its beta? or maybe i need to be a higher level?
TheDoughAbidesI think it gives you that message no matter what, but we disregarded it and managed to land next to a lodge on top of the edge of the Switzerland region and ride around the area w/o getting sent back into mountain view. I believe we also entered Switzerland by riding thermals up the valley instead of trying to drop in from the balloon. Maybe they picked up on the glitch, though.
Wish I could send you a screenshot of where we managed to land, but I've only been able to play at my friend's place.
SofaKingSickOkay def gotta try this game

supermagician__I just don't like the wing suit enough they kinda threw physics out the window and it got the shit end of the stick lol

TheDoughAbidesExpand, please.
TheDoughAbidesExpand, please.
eheathI think if it was more realistic it wouldn't be fun, sometimes shit has to be a bit unrealistic
supermagician__a harder mode or something would be cool at the same time.
TheDoughAbidesYeah, I wish there was a way to simulate how difficult it can be to ski in variable conditions. Skiing endless virgin pow runs is great, but sometimes it feels a little too SSX if you know what I mean.
But hell, some of those wingsuit challenges are tough enough, I don't want that aspect of the game to be any more realistic haha.
